Lovely place to stay!

The property was great. Any issues were so minor they aren't worth mentioning. Owner is kind. Yappy little dogs were entertaining... but the owner kept them in the house or always under supervision. We do wish the pool had been heated but that isn't something done in this area we were told. All in all, it was a great get-away from snow and cold.

Great getaway location!

We stayed for 14 days. While the owner also lives on-site, we rarely saw her, unless we needed something. A great location, cozy space to stay. We already plan to return.

Good stay

We stayed 5 nights after a surgery. It was perfect. Casita is attached to main house but has a separate entrance. Rooms got dark enough at night and we had all we needed to stay in to eat. Good communication if we needed something.

Nice Scottsdale Rental

We had a good time at this rental. Mostly we hung out at the pool during the day. It was pretty quiet, which was nice. The pool area is shared between this rental, the owner and her 3 dogs (well-behaved), and an additional rental unit attached to the opposite side of the house. We overlapped with other renters for a few days, but we didn't see much of them. Highlights: Beautiful pool and patio areas, amazing shower, comfortable bed, easy check-in, great communication, close to a lot of good restaurants, had what we needed to cook our breakfasts and lunches. Thanks for the nice vacation! :)

DON'T stay here!

This place is a dump. NOTHING like the description. The host entered the rental WHILE WE WERE not clothed without our permission after we complained to VRBO about the lack of cleanliness. We found black hair all over the floor. A strange film on the floor and overall lack of care.VERY close to the airport and a major roadway, it is VERY noisy. They have dogs that bite and signs in the yard to warn you.Did I mention how the host entered the unit WHILE WE WERE INSIDE WITHOUT our permission . We left that day.What an absolutely HORRIBLE experienceThere is also ANOTHER rental unit on the other side of the house, so be prepared to bump into them if you need to use the laundry room (also very dirty)the host didn't even know how long we were staying the pool is NOT heatedand the host told us we could get electrocuted if we tried to use the hot tub.I wish I could attach pics of the filth and the police report # by the Phoenix police (rental is NOT in Scottsdale)absolutely ruined our vacationwhen we tried to get a refund of cleaning fee that is when all the crazy with the host started.Now we are trying to get a FULL refund since the insane host entered the unit without our permission and would not leave until we called 911so far, the host is lying and we r still going back n forth with VRBOI cannot believe we had to go thru this!

Gald we had a roof over our head

Very nice little place. No check in instructions given prior to entering, drove 3 hours to get there and had to ask if we could go in because no instructions were sent via VBRO. Pets welcome but beware there is only a iron fence blocking your pets from the owners 3 cute little dogs. The owner allowed their pets to run right up to the back yard fence enclosure causing our youngest pet to get very aggressive, if your pets are not socialized yet, this may be a precaution to consider. No instructions found inside for internet or how to lock and unlock entrance if you want to come and go as you please. We were comfortable and left alone, just didn't feel welcome. If you are looking for a nice place and you do not mind mingling this place is ideal. If you are looking for complete solitude, you may want to ask questions before booking. Owner was prompt at answering. Pans to cook with had burned on residue, there is no garbage disposal, no extra trash bags in trash cans-had to buy our own. Final review=nice clean place - needs a few adjustments and it would have gotten 5 stars.

Phoenix stay

The ladies were vague but helpful. The apartment was clean & as advertised. The pool was not exclusive use, we couldn’t get to the main steps due to barriers for 3 dogs The washing/drying facilities not in the apartment but through 4 gates outside You needed to ring bells so the dogs could be locked in !! The dogs overall were the biggest problem for us

Not as clean as 1st time stay

We found dirty clothes in one of the drawers when we went to put our clothes away. Pool wasn't very clean. Yard is cluttered around the pool. Lattice not attached to fence. The A/C wasn't working very well. Felt hot inside. We left 2 days early, our concert was canceled and we weren't very comfortable in the place.

Convenient for Us

This property was convenient for my husband and I to visit our daughter who lives near by. It’s close to Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter, both have good restaurants and shopping. Parking and access was easy. There is a good sized kitchen with a full sized fridge. We had our privacy with no issues.
